cobra ridge vent

i just had the aluminum ridgevent replaced with this COBRA ridge vent material...it comes in a roll of stuff that looks like black scotch bright and they nailed it where the old ridge vent was.

Has anyone out there had any experience with this typr of ridge vent and what do you think about it?

Jimmer is an unknown quantity at this point
Vincent,

I've used it a couple times, it works great. Be sure to follow the instructions as to the width of the gap that is to be open at the ridge and the foldback/overlap on the ends. I was concerned about hard driving rains getting through it but have had no problems.

Good luck, Jim
